The NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Pittsburgh is fast approaching as is The (2nd Annual!) Breda Fallacy Blogger Reception. Alan Gottlieb must have had a good time at the party in Charlotte because this year, the Second Amendment Foundation was kind enough to co-host, offering both a venue and refreshments. (cash bar, though, so you all can fight over who gets to buy me a drink)

I am really excited about this. So very excited, in fact, that I bought a dress and red lipstick for the event and insisted that Nancy R. absolutely MUST wear her new shoes. I'm told gunnies can clean up real nice so it's bound to be a lovely evening. There's even rumors of an afterparty.

Also, if there's any new bloggers/first-time convention goers who would like a media pass, please send me an email (bredafallacy AT gmail DOT com) and I'll help you out. Since I've been doing exactly this for a couple of months now anyway, I thought I'd put up a post today to spread the not-quite-last-minute word. Bloggers are changing the way the world finds information and the NRA knows it. They do a great job of reaching out to and encouraging new media, and it's honestly wonderful to be a part of the whole endeavor. A media pass not only grants you access to a great number of fun activities, but will hopefully inspire a great number of blog posts as well.

I have just bought a new sports coat for the Gunnie Prom, Extra Bourbon will be available at my Hotel, and I told Nancy R. I'd stay out of your Camera Shots so as to not spoil the Myth that Larry Correia has about her actually being a 7 foot tall Amazon Warrior. Now if I only had the tech base as my house to support a Blog....

Nancy R; Mea Culpa, but those will be some cool pictures, whoever sees them. Mike W.; Couldn't have been me, this will be my First Gunnie Prom/ NRA Con, so whoever Kidnapped Alan.... well, I'd be suspicious of that Guy Stuck in Massachusetts.

As for Adult Beverages, I'm booked at the La Quinta Thursday Night through Sunday Morning, and Bourbon will be available. But feel free to bring along anything else that is legal to consume for those 18 years and older in the State of Pennsylvania. However, as MBTGE told me, the First Rule of Fight Club....

I'm bringing along liquid consumables that I *only* break out at special occasions and gatherings with good friends. I want this event to be where we finish off a Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select, and a rather impressive and peaty scotch called Dalmore.
